Fishing in Alaska is arguably the most popular activity by both visitors and native Alaskans alike. As a full-service Alaskan lodge we are able to do a lot of fishing, and we love it! We fish for multiple species of Alaska Salmon (Kings, Pinks and Silvers), and Dolly Varden Trout in salt water. We also offer various charter fishing trips through local charters for an additional charge.
Destination Alaska ChartersDEEP-SEA FISHING CHARTERS
While the name implies that this package provides an average day on the water, there is nothing average about this trip. We’ve pulled out all the stops to make a day on the water with Destination Alaska’s captain and crew a trip of a lifetime. Our new Bay Weld boat was designed for fishing off the coast of Alaska even in the most challenging conditions. Powered by three Suzuki 350 h.p. outboard motors, we increase precious fishing time by reducing the travel time out to the fishing grounds. Destination Alaska Charters is the first company in Homer to invest in a SeaKeeper 6. This gyro technology virtually eliminates seasickness by reducing vessel wave roll by 90%. If you or someone in your group struggles with motion sickness, then we are the right charter company for you. Our 40’ vessel has a huge deck, comfortable seating, warm pilothouse, private restroom, and a coffee pot that runs all day. DAC captains collaborate daily with their deckhands and our network of professional/commercial fishermen, tracking salmon runs and summer feeding migration of halibut to put you in the best location for trophy fish. Using the latest in Garmin Sonar, Cannon Digi-Troll downriggers, Shimano reels with G Loomis rods, and our secret recipe of bait, we’ll have you reeling in fish in no time. While you’re busy hauling fish over the rails, we’ll warm up some soup and make fresh sandwiches for lunch in our galley kitchen. Fish the remainder of the afternoon and on the way back to port, our crew will expertly fillet your catch. FISH & FLY! If your Alaska vacation includes packing in lots of adventures in a short timeframe, the “Fish & Fly” trip is for you. By combining floatplanes and a state-of-the-art fishing vessel, we are able to show you the best of Alaska by air and sea. Departing Ridgewood Wilderness Lodge at a time of your choosing, we’ll harness 1275 horsepower to get you out to the fishing grounds ahead of the crowd. Fish all day on our 44’ gyro-stabilized vessel, the F/V Wilderness Explorer and while other charter companies begin the long ride home, you’ll have up to 1.5 more hours to seize the bite! Our DeHavilland Otter will fly down to meet the boat and transport you and your catch back to Homer. Enjoy a 45 minute flight over glaciers, snowcapped mountains, waterfalls, and Jurassic Park like scenery, returning to lodge with a cooler full fillets just in time for dinner. Give us a call and let’s go fishing and flying! |
